Hearing/ Adenovirus infection • Parrino (MCB)/Konopka/ C. ablicansmorphogenesis • Thomas (Genetics)/Furie/ Francisellapathogenesis

7. Interdisciplinary training • Scholars in Biomedical Science Program • Graduate students in second or third year of their PhD studies engage in clinical experiences and work on a small, clinically-relevant research project. • Each student and their PhD advisor teamed up with a clinical mentor to design the project and set out the other experiences that the student will undertake in the School of Medicine (for example, going on rounds, attending clinical seminars, and interacting with patients). • The mandatory component of the training will take place over the course of one year, but hopefully continue to take place throughout the student's graduate study. • Matt Wipperman PhD student in Chemistry • Nicole Sampson, PhD Advisor • Sharon Nachman, Clinical Mentor
